Please write a paragraph in response to each of the following as they relate to you and your perception of your class experience: 

Quality of Work
Effort
Participation
Improvement
Adjustment 

Look at the bullet points below each category for specific ideas, but do not write a list–this should be more of a narrative, describing your thoughts about your work in this class so far.

1. Quality of work


· compelling concepts

· relevant solutions

· paying attention to the objective of the assignment (and taking it further)

· proper format and resolution

· completing your work on time

· going beyond your first idea(s)

2. Effort


· do you look for a convenient solution or do you challenge yourself?

· how much do you plan your projects vs. just jumping in and making something?

· do you explore variations on your ideas?

· do you avoid ideas that you perceive as difficult or that you think will take a lot of effort?

· do you take risks? creative? conceptual? subject matter? technical?

· do you have a positive attitude when looking at other students work (participation, support for other students, accepting other’s feedback)?

· do you have a positive attitude toward your own designs and process?

3. Participation

· on time to class

· work throughout the block

· have a plan to work independently

· staying on task and using class time productively

4. Improvement

· creation of your own style; who am I as a digital artist?

· improve technically?

· more compelling solutions?

· more confidence?

· stronger concepts?


5. Adjustment

What are you going to do differently in the 2nd Semester?

II) Suggest an assignment.  

Is there something that you've wanted to do in Digital Art that we are not yet addressing?  Suggest an assignment and I will choose from your ideas and incorporate one of them into a project.
